What we hope to see …
Increased visibility and access to Open Access journals= Increased usage = Increased citation = Increased impact = Increased usage...
etc etc

L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
What is DOAJ:– A collection of peer reviewed open
access journals– SCOPE: All disciplines – all languages– One interface– Provides search service for end-users– Provides metadata harvesting
services based on the OAI-PMH protocol for libraries and other service providers
8
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
Selection criteria
• Open Access – no embargo!
• Quality control measures, – the journal must exercise peer-review or editorial
quality control in order to be included in the DOAJ.
• Scientific or scholarly content– The researcher as primary target group

L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
Open Access – our definition:
Open access journals = journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access.
The BOAI definition of "open access" = the right of "users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory criteria

So far …
• Global visibility and dissemination of records– Integrated in OPAC´s in many, many libraries– Several service providers are linking to DOAJ– Integrated in the services of aggregators
(Serial Solutions, Ullrichs, Ebsco, OVID etc.)– And OpenURL-providers (Exlibris etc.)
• Frequently referred to as the most important listing
37
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
New functionality and developments in the pipeline!
• Service for authors: ”where can I publish in OA and what are the conditions??”
• Integration of OA-articles from hybrid journals• Working with journals to enable them in providing
OAI-compliant article level metadata• Secure long term funding:
– Donations programme is launched
38
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
New service for authors
• Where can I publish in Open Access?– Gold (Open Access or Hybrid Journals)
• Publication charges?
– Green (Selfarchiving)• What (pre-/postprints)
– Cost-Effectiveness• Price per article/citation etc.
– Impact factor(?)• Advice in Intellectual Property Rights Issues• Integrated in Directory of Open Access Journals
(DOAJ)

Part IIIntegration of Open Access
content in our library services
48
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
Promoting Open Access content in our library services
• Now that we have convinced so many researchers to publish in Open Access
&• Now that many (not for profit) publishers
are considering Open Access publishingThen• We have to do whatever we can to expose
the Open Access content to the eyes of our users!!
How do we do that??
49
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
OA-content from subject or institutional repositories
• Examples:– OAIster –
http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/o/oaister/– BASE – Bielefeld Academic Search
Engine - http://www.base-search.net/– SHERPA Search -
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/repositories/sherpasearch.html
50
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
OA-content from OA-journals
• Subscription agents:– Some subscription agents like Swets, Ebsco etc. offer inclusion
of Open Access Journals in their services– If not – ask for it!!
• ERM-providers:– Electronic Resource Management providers should as well
offer inclusion of Open Access Journals in their services– If not – ask for it!!
• OpenURL-providers– OpenURL-providers (like Exlibris, Endeavour, Innovative
Interfaces etc) offer inclusion of Open Access journals in their knowledge bases
– If not – ask for it!!• Library Consortia & Cooperatives:
– Library Consortia & Cooperatives could share the work and facilitate inclusion of Open Access journal records in their OPACs and other services.
51
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
Going one step further
• It is good that Open Access Journals are visible on title level in A-Z title lists, in the OPAC etc., but…
• What we really would like to see is that OA-content from OA-journals and from OA-repositories is exposed to our users completely integrated with the content from commercial and not-for-profit toll access publishers.
• This is what we try to accomplish in Lund!
52
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
Adressing the problems
• The problems:– Numerous databases and journal
providers – numerous interfaces– Several thousand e-journals difficult to
find– Portals provided by subscription agents
and journals publishers are not invented primarily to accomodate end user needs but more to generate their business.
53
L U N D U N I V E R S I T Y
Finding information
• Library branding is very important– users often believe that full-text e-
journals are free on the Internet!– ”If it is not on the web, it does not
exist”• We want to brand our services and
promote Open Access resources

Organising end user access
• The goals:– Integration of all services– Development of personalized services– Branding of library services
• Principles:– Single sign on – automatic authentification –
one login/password to all resources– Remote access
